Joint Statement from New Line Cinema, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures
and Warner Bros. Pictures Regarding THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED
JOURNEY

“We have been screening the full-length HFR 3D presentation of THE
HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY extensively, and feedback has been
extremely positive, with none of thousands who have seen the film
projected in this format expressing any of the issues described by two
anonymous sources in media reports. We share the filmmakers’ belief that
by offering filmgoers the additional choice of HFR 3D, alongside
traditional viewing formats, they have an opportunity to be part of a
groundbreaking advancement in the moviegoing experience, and we look
forward to having audiences everywhere share in this new way of
storytelling.”
